Whew!

All I can do is quote sandude from yesterday:

How refreshing to see someone that has not been sucked into the circus that this thread is becoming. Most of the posters just won’t be satisfied unless there is some grand conspiracy by influential people. While at times it has been "fun" to follow their baseless claims, I'm afraid that their rants have begun to sound like the spasms of a hopelessly broken record, playing the same song over and over and over and..... You know what I mean. Now those people would label me as a "Smart Family Apologist". I'd be happy to entertain their notions as soon as they can back up their wild theories with ONE SINGLE FACT. I see a grieving family who is desperate to get their beautiful daughter / niece / cousin back home where she belongs. As far as a law enforcement conspiracy, well it just defies logic. I'm not saying it's impossible, but once again their is no substantial fact to substantiate their innuendo. I, like you, will rely on theories that are at least plausible as to the KNOWN FACTS of this story.

Do you have that ONE SINGLE FACT?

No... But we know Ricci & his wife are drug users. We know that Ricci took the Jeep in. Why take it in for repair and weasle it back out without paying for the work that had been done if you have the money or had something planned before hand? There has to be a reason that suddenly popped up after he turned it in for repair.

I think the answer to this Case is more common than we think. Ricci is not talking and there is more to why he is not talking. Is he not talking because his life & families life was threatened? We know Ricci is a lowlife, but Ricci is not the type also to be in this on his own as we know Ricci really does not fit the description of the perp.

Ricci wife supposely won a 50,000 grand in a lawsuit. They have nothing to show for the 50,000 grand, they live in a cheap and older mobile home. So where do you think the 50,000 grand went? I say most of it was spent on drugs. Remember Ricci was released from prison in September 2000. He got married to Angela in February of 2002. But Ricci and Angela knew each other for a while before they got married (Angela said this on LKL). When did Angela get her settlement from a car accident? (we are led to believe that she spent some of it on Ricci for court costs and fines, but he was robbing banks in November of 2001)

I would say if Ricci is involved and took Liz, it is because he had a drug debt to pay off.

As far as what Sandude wrote, I do not think he was directing his comments to me. I am not someone that bashes this family, but it is possible that someone knows the family that had a score to settle with them or maybe someone simply had an attraction to their daughter. I do not believe that who pulled this off is some complete stranger to the family. (meaning someone that did not know about the Smart family pulled his off, this was not a random act like he Polly Klaas case. Someone involved knew or knew of the family.)
